Comment of The Day

Firefighters water down the roof of a house to douse the embers from the approaching flames of a fast moving wildfire in Rancho Santa Fe, California, October 22, 2007

I found this in the comments to a collection of wildfire evacuee stories at the North County Times/North San Diego and Southwest Riverside County News:

” We in palestine sorry for our friend in USA we hope we can help you, but unfortunantly we are under israeli seige and we cannot help you, also our brothers in irak they want to help you but as you know they are facing war conditions. you can bring your solders to help you “

Don’t know if it’s a real comment or a mischievous sockpuppet but either way it makes a valid point – though I don’t expect it’s one the million or so scared evacuees in California want to hear just at the moment, and who can blame them?

Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt, washed the t-shirt 23 times, threw the t-shirt in the ragbag, now I'm polishing furniture with it.
